hucMSCs attenuate the DSS-induced IBD through regulating macrophages. (a) The model group was designed to contain the control, DSS, DT+DSS, DSS+MSC, and DSS+MSC+DT (days 0, 3, and 6) groups. DT was given at days 0, 3, and 6. (b) The body weight loss and (c) the DAI of each group are presented. (d) The colon lengths of each group are presented. (e) HE of colon tissues of each group is presented (100x, scale bar = 100 μm). (f) IHC of PCNA expression in the colon tissues of each group are presented (100x, scale bar = 100 μm). (g) The inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and 15-lox-1 expression of colon tissues were measured via QRT-PCR analyses. (h) The expression of PCNA, caspase-3, 15-lox-1, and β-actin proteins in the colon tissues was measured by Western blot. N ≥ 6 for each group. Data shown were representative of three independent experiments. Data represent the mean ± SEM. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗ P < 0.001 by ANOVA.
